PT no longer supports Shareplay (and yes, it did work before)

But for those of us who had watched Konami transform in those furious days... it was like everything we knew was mightily swept away. And no matter what they did to build this company back up again- for the rest of time- it would be like nobody even knew PT was ever here.
Or with cross-region play where often it doesn't know that game id XXX is also game id XXX in another region.
It only expires in countries where it's tied to PS+; i.e. Germany.

I thought of this from the start but thought it was unlikely, but by now I feel my hard drive is in series patch danger.
>Delists game from store
Oh that sucks, good thing it's already mine.
>Disables redownload
Oh shit I should make a backup sometime in the next few weeks in case anything ever happens to my PS4. :/
>Disables shareplay
Fuck theyre erasing it from history, here comes the patch

This is exactly what I'm expecting, a patch with some notes on it saying things like "fixes x and adjusts y" and its actually just a patch to break the game so anyone who is unlucky to download it gets their PT broken.

Don't connect the ps4 with PT installed to the internet ever again?
Seriously, is there anyway of protecting against the inevitable patch of death?

Yea I agree. They will probably put an expiration date on the game now. Ridiculous.

I forget, but does the PS4 allow users to delete patches like we were able to on the PS3?
It was.

they'll put the patch in mgs5 pp disc and you will be required to install it before you can play mgs5

Has anybody tried backing-up the aplication file via pendrive and selling it for $100 because I'm thinkg of doing that xD
I can't understand what they're trying to accomplish with this. How does preventing shareplay benefit them in any way? Sure, this could be said for basically anything concerning PT recently, but this especially comes off as petulant and unnecessary. Surely they realise the futility of trying to erase it from existence?

you can't backup a title individually on ps4 (or ps3) you had to backup the whole hdd, and even then I'm not sure if the license will be automatically restored when you restore the backup to new PS4.
Can delisted games be share played in the first place?
Maybe this is a side-effect not Konami actively stopping it
I was thinking like an option to dissable automatic update.

maybe they're trying to kill the game access as much as they can so they can later it sell the demo for a price.

I can't believe the lengths Konami is willing to go to alienate its (former) customer base. Pretty impressive, we can at least give them that.
I'm almost beginning to expect it.

As demonstrated earlier, it's sort of already there.
You know what, usually I don't care when people treat companies like people, but I'll make an exception for this whole conundrum: fuck Konami indeed.
I've seen this image before, I thought it was clarified that the 'end date' was just the dude's PS+ expiration?
Man, PT now feels like a massive cautionary tale about the downsides of the digital-only future
Not per game but By System or By Application

How do you do that?

But that would also mean the account owner is German I think?
Hopefully so, though it still sucks for Germans. PS+ may get shut off one day.

No. You can only globally disable automatic updates, and then manually check for updates on a per-game basis.
I believe that's for your PS+ membership. Not the game itself.

Delisting from downloads on PSN and now no shareplay. Yeah this is nothing but Konami being jerks. Pretty sure soon they're going to try and go after all the videos and lets plays as well at this rate.

And on the sixth day the LORD David Bowie created man and woman in His image. And he saw that it was good. On the seventh day the LORD created videogames so that He might take the bloody day off for once.
Its in the settings, I cant remember the exact title its under, but i remember doing it to take advantage of an exploit that was patched in a game

When did this happen?
On topic:
Fucking Konami. You despicable pieces of corporate shit.
You've finally done it. You are the worst of the worst. You've made the likes of Ubisoft, Activision and EA look good.
Fuck you to Hell. I am *never* touching anything from you again.
Yes, including MGS V. I am sorry, Kojima. I will happily play whatever your next game is, but even MGS V is too tainted by Konami's filth.

seriously just stop.
And to think, the first time I saw this I thought it was a fake.

Yep, it's probably to do with the way Shareplay works like this, since the game isn't officially available. I don't think Konami did this, guys.
